Hi all, my wife is still studying the farms around Sharpsburg and on the
field. She has been using Farmsteads, and was wondering about the Clipp
Farm on the Roulette lane. I called the VC for her yesterday, Mannie
Gentile said they knew little about it, it didn't have substantial
buildings and was gone early, probably simply a tenant on the Roulette
place. Does anyone have any more info? Pictures? Can you point her in
a direction?

Many thanks, as always

David,
The NPS give you more detail if you talk to the Cultural Resources people, Kevin Walker is the contact. I can tell you the info Mannie gave you is correct. There is a picture of it, and look for it in Stephen Recker's upcoming book on photography of the field after the battle. It was a small simplee dwelling, and nohing really remains of it.

Tom and Dave,

Tom is right in that nothing remains of the Clipp farmstead and in that it was a tenement house. IIRC the site of the house's location is the small slightly rectangular raised area just off the Roulette Lane on the left approximately half-way between the Sunken Road and the Roulette House itself.
